2021-22 NAIA Women’s Soccer Coaches’ Top 25 Poll – Week Eight (October 27, 2021)
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – William Carey (Miss.) continued its undefeated season and garnered all 18, first-place votes in the latest edition of the Top 25. The top nine teams from a week ago remained in the same slot as the tie between Southeastern (Fla.) and Indiana Wesleyan at No. 9 was broken this week. On the whole no team moved-up more than a single spot other than Oregon Tech, which jumped from 23 to 21.
Poll Methodology
- The poll was voted upon by a panel of head coaches representing each of the conferences, Continental Athletic Conference (Independents) and Unaffiliated Groups.
- The Top 25 is determined by a points system based on how each voter ranks the best teams. A team receives 30 points for each first-place vote, 29 for second-place and so on through the list.
- The highest and lowest ranking for each team (a non-rating is considered a low ratings) is removed and the team’s ranking will be recalculated with an additional point added to each team for every ballot (including discounted ballots) that the teams appears on.
- Teams that receive only one point in the ballot are not considered “receiving votes.”
